Time is the enemy of lies

[Verse 1] You talk like a fire sale “Last chance” on the truth tonight Stacking all these secret tales Like chips in a crooked light You keep saying “trust me” But your eyes keep looking past Every time I ask a question You just tell me to talk fast [Chorus] Time is the enemy of lies Slow it down Watch what survives If it only works in a rush It was never worth that trust I want the risks Not a script Show me your cracks Every limit If we can’t sit with what might go wrong We were believing in a broken song [Verse 2] You dress fear up as urgency Tap the clock like it’s on my side (hey) Offer me a “confession” Just to drag me to your side You paint doubt as disloyal Say I’m “cold” when I won’t agree But real truth can stand a silence It doesn’t need to beg or bleed [Chorus] Time is the enemy of lies Slow it down Watch what survives If it only works in a rush It was never worth that trust I want the risks Not a script Show me your cracks Every limit If we can’t sit with what might go wrong We were believing in a broken song [Bridge] Tell me what you don’t know Tell me how this could all fall through Show your hands in the daylight Or I’m walking away from you (yeah) If the cost’s in the fine print Read it loud Line by line If the truth needs pressure to shine It was never truth this time [Chorus] Time is the enemy of lies Slow it down Watch what survives If it only works in a rush It was never worth that trust I want the risks Not a script Show me your cracks Every limit If we can’t sit with what might go wrong We were believing in a broken song (broken song) If we can’t name what might fall apart We never let truth into our hearts ​[Verse 3] You speak like a ticking clock “Final offer” on the table now Building up a shaky block Of promises you can’t allow You keep whispering “believe me” But you're staring at the door Every time I need an answer You just rush me to the floor ​[Chorus] Patience is the poison to deceit Hit the brakes Watch it retreat If it falls apart when we stall It was never meant to stand tall Give me the flaws Not the gloss Show me your scars Every loss If we can’t wait for the dust to clear We were just dancing with a phantom here ​[Verse 4] You disguise panic as a spark Point to the hourglass running dry (hey) Sell me whispers in the dark Just to trap me in your lie You call my caution a betrayal Say I’m “distant” when I pause But the honest word will never fail It doesn’t need to plead its cause ​[Chorus] Patience is the poison to deceit Hit the brakes Watch it retreat If it falls apart when we stall It was never meant to stand tall Give me the flaws Not the gloss Show me your scars Every loss If we can’t wait for the dust to clear We were just dancing with a phantom here ​[Bridge] Tell me where the weak links hide Tell me how this bridge could burn Step out from the shadows' side Or I’m taking my final turn (yeah) If the catch is in the details Spell it out Word by word If the facts only fly when the wind blows It's a story I've already heard ​[Chorus] Patience is the poison to deceit Hit the brakes Watch it retreat If it falls apart when we stall It was never meant to stand tall Give me the flaws Not the gloss Show me your scars Every loss If we can’t wait for the dust to clear We were just dancing with a phantom here (phantom here) If we can’t look at the tearing seams We never anchored down our restless dreams
